Jewish Holidays: A Journey Through Tradition and Celebration – a VCJC book
Do you sometimes find yourself:
- Unsure of what a holiday is all about?
- Wondering what its history and traditions are?
- Uncertain of what customs should be observed?
- What its relevance is to today?
- At a loss about where to look for answers?
- Wishing you had a compact, readable, reliable source that you could turn to easily?
- Hoping that you could look on your phone or computer without an exhaustive search?
- Needing a hard copy to share, or to use when you don’t use electronics (like on most of those holidays)?
VCJC has you covered!
We’ve created a comprehensive, easy-to-read, but compact book that covers these issues and more. Its sixteen chapters explore the Torah derived holidays, the holidays stemming from ancient traditions and events, and the more modern holidays such as those related to Israel and recent events. Each chapter covers a holiday with sections on history, development, customs and practices, themes, and expected behaviors.
It’s been written as a handy guide and is meant for anyone with an interest in these topics, whether they are well versed and brought up in the traditions, a non-affiliated Jew, or an interested non-Jew.
